A good night out in Philadelphia usually covers two or three neighborhoods: dinner in one, a show or a bar in another. The question that decides how the night ends is simple: who is driving home?
Where should you go for dinner?
Rittenhouse Square, Old City and East Passyunk Avenue are the usual starting points. Philadelphia is known for its BYOB restaurants, where you bring your own wine, which is one more reason to leave the car keys at home.
Where do people go after dinner?
| Neighborhood | Known for |
|---|---|
| Fishtown and Northern Liberties | Bars and live music |
| South Street and Queen Village | Late-night bars and music |
| Avenue of the Arts | Theatre and concerts |
| Manayunk Main Street | Bars along the canal |
How do you get everyone home?
You have three choices: a designated driver, a string of rideshares, or a booked car. For one or two people heading one way, a rideshare is the cheapest. For a group, several stops or a late finish, a car booked by the hour keeps everyone together, waits at each stop and drops each guest home in turn.
See night out car service for how it works, or a night out in Philadelphia by black car for a sample evening.
